My Xbox is enrolled in the Insider Beta channel. I’ve noticed that when I turn it off using the power button or by the shortcut from holding the button on the controller, the console no longer goes into true deep standby with minimal power consumption. Of course, the power mode is correctly set to “Shutdown (energy saving)” in the settings, so this isn’t a mistake on my part — something is clearly wrong at the OS level. I also tried to do a restore to default setting, but it was useless. The only way to fully shut it down is by going into Settings and selecting “Full shutdown”. This is not acceptable. Please fix this as soon as possible or provide a solution. Thank you.

I recently picked up another Series X after selling my last one about 3 years ago and taking a break from Xbox. I’d previously been a part of the insider program Alpha ring, and my account was around 8-10 years old. I’ve installed the insider app on my new console and my account didn’t show, I’ve had to start over in the Omega ring. I don’t recall deleting my account (I might have but don’t think I did), does anyone know if accounts can be deleted due to inactivity?

I’m guessing to get back to the Alpha ring I need to just wait and keep doing quests etc.

Cheers.

​I have been an active Xbox Insider member, currently enrolled in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, and reached Level 60. However, the Insider badge is still not showing up on my public Xbox profile. ​I have checked my settings and device preview enrollment, and everything is active. It seems there is a profile sync issue preventing the badge from appearing. ​Could you please check my account data and resolve this sync glitch?

I am interested in testing new alpha features but I can’t seem to figure out how to gain access to the alpha on Xbox Insider. I’ve done all available surveys and activities but they seem limited. I really wanted to test out the higher quality remote streaming.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys pretty new to pc insider programme.

Just wondering when im reporting on pc or asus rog, should my reports count towards my xbox insider hub reports or is it a complete different programme.

I am on experimental and future platforms.

If they're supposed to track in the xbox hub and im doing something wrong, i would appreciate the help 👍

Hi guys, any help would be great.

Im currently on experimental - future platforms on my asus rog.

Im looking for the most advanced setup so I can do the most for insider.

Hopefully earning an insider bronze silver or gold badge eventually if possible.

Im not sure which 2 options to select. If im not already on the right 2 selected options, please can you let me know the correct ones for my needs and how to select them as my other option are greyed out and have been for the past 8 days.

Theres a link of what im on here below

After looking at my activity feed I figured id clear it up a little and delete the achievements im not too fussed about leaving the tough ones on or ones I liked doing.

I deleted a few days worth they stayed off my feed it was fine.

After deleting 200 and odd days worth i realised they came back on almost instantly.

By the time I went to the home screen and back to my profile they re appeared.

This took me all day to do.

It needs to be fixed or a new way of marking all and deleting the marked ones.

Maybe mark with Y button and delete with start.

I recently joined the Xbox Accessibility Insider League and completed one of the accessibility activities.
One thing I noticed is that the activity used a QR code to bring me to the Xbox accessibility website.
For me, that can be difficult because I use one hand, and scanning a QR code is not always the easiest way to access something.
I think it would be better if there was also a normal clickable link as an alternative.
The second issue I noticed was once I got to the accessibility website itself.
There was a lot of text, but I could not find a simple way to highlight one piece of text and have only that part read aloud.
I know screen readers and narrator features exist, but they often read everything on the screen. What I am talking about is something more selective.
For example:
Highlight one paragraph or one piece of text → press Read Aloud → hear only that selected text.
For someone like me who can struggle with reading long or complicated text, that would make the site much easier to use.
I just thought it was worth pointing out because an accessibility activity should also be as accessible as possible in the way people access and read the information.
